You're right. Ringo is on the other side.

Here they are:

We tasted a luck 'til we finally struck.               Bonanza!
With a gun and a rope and a hat full of hope,
   we planted our family tree.

We got a hold of a pot full of gold.                   Bonanza!
With a horse and a sadle and a ring full of cattle,
   how rich can a fellow be.

On this land we put our brand, Cartwright is the name.
Fortune smiled the day we filed the Ponderosa claim.

Here in the west we're living in the best.             Bonanza!
If anyone fights anyone of us,
   he's got to fight with me.

(music and two opera 'Bonanza's')

Hos an' Joe and Adam no, every rock and pine.
No one works, fights, or eats like the boys of mine.

Here we stand in the middle of the grand.             Bonanza!
With a gun and a rope and a hat full of hope,
   we planted our family tree.

We got a hold of a pot full of gold.                   Bonanza!
With a house full of friends where the rainbow ends,
   how rich can a fellow be?

On this land we put our brand, Cartwright is the name.
Fortune smiled the day we filed the Ponderosa claim.

Here in the west we're living in the best.             Bonanza!
Where the friendliest fight and this lumberless land
   that ever set foot in a promised land and we're
   happier than them all.

That's why we call it Bonanza! Bonanza! Bonanza!
           Bonanza(really emphatic)!


There they are. 

now I hope someone can help me. I need the words to 
the theme song of The Partridge Family tv show. Don't confuse
this with The Brady Bunch("Here's a story of a lonely lady...").

                              Thanks.
